All-New Podcast: A History of Nonviolence

Can a single powerful idea remake the world? This year marks the 50th anniversary of the death of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. And so in season three of The Thread we explore the origins of a powerful idea, one very near and dear to the heart of King — the principle of nonviolent resistance. This season, we’ll see how that principle journeyed through the minds of some remarkable individuals over more than a century of history — and across the globe, from Boston to Russia to South Africa to India to a 27-year-old preacher in Alabama.
